  Citrus

  Citrange. 
  

  

  Etonia 
  or 
  flowering 
  citrange. 
  " 
  This 
  is 
  a 
  hybrid 
  between 
  the 
  common 
  orange 
  

   and 
  the 
  trifoliata, 
  having 
  the 
  same 
  parents 
  as 
  the 
  Colman, 
  Morion, 
  and 
  other 
  

   standard 
  citranges. 
  So 
  far 
  it 
  has 
  borne 
  almost 
  no 
  fruit. 
  On 
  the 
  other 
  hand, 
  

   it 
  flowers 
  profusely 
  in 
  early 
  spring 
  and 
  the 
  flowers 
  are 
  very 
  large 
  in 
  size, 
  larger 
  

   than 
  those 
  of 
  either 
  parent. 
  They 
  appear 
  with 
  the 
  leaves 
  and 
  are 
  often 
  so 
  

   abundant 
  as 
  almost 
  to 
  hide 
  the 
  foliage. 
  This 
  variety 
  is 
  being 
  distributed 
  on 
  a 
  

   small 
  scale 
  for 
  trial 
  in 
  cities 
  for 
  dooryard 
  planting, 
  where 
  an 
  ornamental 
  rather 
  

   than 
  a 
  fruit 
  tree 
  is 
  desired."

   "This

  the

   known

  "These 
  plants 
  are 
  of 
  no 
  value 
  for 
  the 
  production 
  of 
  fiber, 
  but 
  the 
  character 
  of 
  the 
  

  

  leaves 
  indicates 
  that 
  they 
  are 
  likely 
  to 
  be 
  very 
  attractive 
  ornamentals 
  and 
  I 
  suggest 
  

  

  that 
  they 
  be 
  distributed 
  either 
  to 
  botanical 
  gardens 
  or 
  to 
  growers 
  of 
  succulent 
  plants."

   "Grown 
  from

  which 
  was 
  secured 
  from 
  Mr. 
  J. 
  K. 
  Freed, 
  Scott 
  City,

   This 
  variety 
  came 
  from 
  Mr. 
  Freed 
  as 
  White 
  Amber 
  sorgo, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  evidently 
  a 
  kowliang. 
  

   It 
  gives 
  considerable 
  promise, 
  because 
  of 
  its 
  earliness, 
  as 
  both 
  a 
  grain 
  and 
  a 
  forage 
  

   crop."
